Only after severe fighting, and the threat of aerial bombard- ment, were the officers and loyal troops able to recapture the bar- Tacks. At the very moment when the gov- ernment was reporting a subsiding | of the revolt, reports from Algeciras, near Gibraltar, declared that a new uprising had broken out in that por- tion of the country. The workers burned scores of houses of rich ex- ploiters and the hated Catholic para- Sites. In all of the struggles, the workers particularly vented their hatred against the wealthy feudal ch~ch, which is an important prop of the landlord-bourgeois of Spain and one of the largest landowners in the country, The Catholic Church is the prop of the fascist srov-s seeking to re-establish the monarchy.

The bone which I have to pick with you is that although a story of the downfall of a pug can prove interest- | ing as a feature story for Saturday’s edition, as part of a worker's sports columin it is not in its right place. The fault generally seems to lie in the, fact that the column is a continual expose of the bourgeois sports racket and except for the announcements of the soccer games and of course the | fostering of a wrestling match it is run like the sports column of the cap- italist sheets, In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you follow in Sidney Skolsky’s footsteps and end up in Hollywood describing the rowing ma- chine of Marlene Dietrich, In the following few months, worker sport organizations will participate in ,the preparations for the workers’ Olympics in Moscow. I think that there is plenty of news and stories which can be built around the Sparta- kiade. A sharp struggle can be started through your column for much needed recreational facilities. The issues can be raised as fol- Jows: free gymnasiums for unemp- loyed youth, free athletic material, etc. On this basis a real fight can be inaugurated in the workers’ sport movement. Another issue is that of the interference of the Amateur Ath- jletic Union with workers’ sports events so that there would not be any | interference as there was with the wrestling match for the Daily Worker. Interfactory competitions could be |started. Last but not least, the fit- ting place for sports news from the Soviet Union is not on page five or eight of the Daily but in the Sports Column. a great deal to be said about Mar- lene Dietrich”s rowing machine?

Smith denied he had advised Mof- fer to raise a moustache after the murder, but admitted that Moffer was a guard in the Khaki Shirt head- quarters, stationed in the front win- dow “to watch for Communist raids and such things.’” General G. Moore, former “brig~ adier-general” of the Khaki Shirts, testified that he saw Terzani stand; ing on a bench near Fierro, perhaps @ minute before the killings. He ad- mitted under cross examination that Terzani’s hands were in view and at no time did he see him have any Weapon. Moore testified that Smith had given his men standing orders to carry clubs to Khaki Shirt prop- aganda meetings “to maintain order.” Cross-examination revealed that a Khaki Shirt member who took part in the Astoria affair had asked Moore's advice about what testimony he should give before the Grand Jury. But the witness said he couldn't re- call the man’s name. Terzani, who had been under $15,000 bail, was remanded back to jail at the opening of the trial.

FROM THE |¥.0.L, ON HOW TO SELL DAILIES Before the verdict of the Scottsboro boys came in, two girl ¥.0.L. mem- bers of the Brownsville Section, Rob- in Young and Gertrude Brown, took 50 copies of the December Ist issue of the Daily Worker, and at 10:30 &.m, went into the heart of the Negro section of Crown Heights, and sold 46 of them in three hours, We walked into Negro restaurants, candy stores and churches and sold them to the Negro workers who were eager to hear of the lynch verdict. Although we were stopped by two policemen and a Negro night detec- tive, we kept on selling the papers to every passerby in the section. Dur- ing this time we made four Negro ern and eastern Spain, and accord- ing to the latest news has spread to the south. In Madrid there have been some struggles, but due to the heavy concentration of government troops and Socialist treachery it has | not been able thus far to advance rapidly in the capital. The vitality of the uprising is shown by the growth of the general strike, despite all the forces arrayed against it. The most militant and revolution- ary workers are supporting the up- rising, though it was not well planned | and organized. In all of the decisive actions, Socialist, Communist, Anar- chist and Syndicalist workers took part in their effort to defeat the fas- cist enemies, Thus far no direct news has been received on the role played by the Communist Party of Spain in the revolt, though it is clear that the Communists are supporting this spontaneous uprising and do every- thing possible to arouse the entire working class for the armed insur- rection and the establishment of a workers’ and peasants’ government, contacts for the Y¥.C.L. and one for the L.S.N.R.
